$begingroup$
Let $T$ be a linear operator on a finite dimensional vector space $V$ and let $c_1,c_2ldots ,c_k$ be the distinct eigenvalues of T. Let $W_i$ be the null space of $(T-c_i I)$. If $T$ is diagonalizable, then prove that $$sum_i dim(W_i) = dim(V)$$
I am unable to connect things in order to logically think about this. How do I go about proving this?

Since $T$ is similar to a diagonal matrix, there exists a basis $mathfrak{B}={v_j}_{jle dim V}$ of $V$ such that for each $j$, $v_j in W_k =ker (T-c_kI)$ for some $k$. Since $mathfrak{B} subset bigoplus_k W_k$, it follows
$$
V =text{span} mathfrak{B} =bigoplus_k W_k
$$ and $dim V =dim bigoplus_k W_k=sum_k dim W_k.$
